Playing to be Evil: The Darker Side of LoL [2.0]

Fantastic post, Heretic. I had already naturally put some of this into action as I progressed skill-wise with the game, but seeing it all in writing, despite it being general advise, I think, is excellent. I duo with a friend of mine 90% of the time, and we do a lot of this stuff already. Early-game lane ganks, constant harassing (usually without any counterattack), and the exploiting of weak enemies. Maybe I need to start smack talking a bit more.. sounds effective.

Hardly trash talk. The stuff he suggests you say aren't nearly as bad as some of what I see nearly every game.

"I really thought you were a good player", or "kinda reckless" isn't really all that bad. In other words, I don't think you get exactly what he means. He even says NOT to just say stuff like "lol noob" or other obviously aimed tactics at angering someone. :/

He says not to say stuff like "lol noob" because you can get them angrier with more subtle insults. He's intentionally trying to infuriate people and make them walk away from the game angry because it helps him win. There's no excuse for that, this is a video game and people are playing to have fun. At the very least you should save that crap for Ranked matches and not Normal.

Very well written. I don't think i will take much from the getting in their heads part of this except the taunting them in game via play style. As for chat taunting i agree to it as being a powerfull tool to win and turn the tides in games. I however will take from this that i should try not to be affected by the chat and improve my overall focus on the game and what needs to be accomplished. again very well written people should take from this what they can and use what they want but its all valid.
